The Story about this TAC Claim

Phillip was riding a motorcycle when a vehicle turned right into his path. He tried to steer to avoid the vehicle but clipped the back of the car and suffered a serious injury to his left leg. As a result, he received a serious injury certificate. The TAC, acting for the driver, accepted the driver was at fault for turning in the path of the motorcycle but also argued that Phillip was also very much at fault for what happened for a range of complex reasons.

We accepted that Phillip faced massive difficulties if the matter was allowed to go all the way to a trial in front of a jury and so we worked hard to achieve a good early outcome for him. Our efforts paid off and we obtained a significant offer of settlement from the TAC of over $325,000.
